Kim Eun-sook asked with a smile, and then added without waiting for Chi Jingyuan's answer: "Although we have not cast external actors before because the most important male lead has not been determined, but you also know that our drama
, Haha... So he is relatively well-known in the industry. The crew has received many actor lists and resumes submitted by agencies, such as Park Bo Young xi, Yoo In Na xi, Park Shin Hye xi, etc..."
After a pause, she adjusted her glasses: "The crew has also considered and imagined many candidates who are more suitable for the character and suitable for you, such as the original Kim Go Eun xi, IU xi, Lee Hye Ri xi, Bae Suzy xi...
We even thought about Lin YoonAxi, but there are many people who don’t support it. After all, she is from the same company as you, and SM, haha...
Chi Jingyuan listened to these names very carefully, especially a few familiar names that made his heart move. However, after listening to it, he had no intention of answering. He just looked at Jin Enshu and shook his head with a bitter smile: "I don't understand this kind of thing."
I don’t have any opinions now, it must be based on the thoughts of Nuna and your crew.”
His own role hasn't been finalized yet, so how could he directly give any advice on the casting of the heroine? Even if Kim Eun-sook is very optimistic and appreciates him, and it's just a private discussion, he won't go too far.
Moreover, Chi Jingyuan actually doesn’t have any suggestions now. He hasn’t done much research on the setting of the heroine, and he doesn’t know who is more suitable... Although in most TV dramas on Peninsula, ‘suitability’ is not actually very important, as connections and
Relationships, brokerage company resources and communication are the most important.
Even if he wants to give suggestions, he should wait until his own role is determined and he has a clear idea...
"You……"
Hearing what Chi Jingyuan said, Jin Enshu looked at Chi Jingyuan helplessly and smiled. She stretched out her hand and nodded at him a few times. She obviously understood what Chi Jingyuan meant and did not continue to ask. She took a sip of coffee and nodded:
"Then let's determine your role first and then talk about it..."
…
After saying goodbye to Kim Eun-sook, I took the car back to the company. The traffic in Seoul was still so frustrating. There were congestion in many places on the way back, and the stop-and-go was very inconsistent.
Chi Jingyuan, on the other hand, was not bothered by the traffic jam. He was sitting in the back seat of the nanny car, thinking about the information he had just received from Jin Eunshu.
The two male leads were determined to be Gong Yoo and him, and the script was also given to them. After a period of consideration, Chi Jingyuan already had the intention to agree, while Gong Yoo had already rejected it once before, and then
There has been no further reply for a long time, so I probably have no interest.
According to this girl's tone and statement, if there are no changes in Gong Yoo's future, there should be no problem for him to take over the male lead position if he makes some moves here.
But we still have to watch the meeting with director Li Yingfu and the subsequent audition.
On the contrary, the news the heroine heard was quite interesting.
The crew originally planned that the female lead who would play the role of 'Loli' was Kim Go-eun... Ji Kyung-won met her at the Baeksang Arts Awards a few days ago and chatted with her for a few words. This girl's acting skills are indeed quite good.
, but she is not a beauty in the standard sense in terms of appearance. If she takes off the "uncle and lolita" setting, it would seem a bit inadequate in a love drama that has high requirements on appearance.
Chi Kyung-won recalled Jin Go-eun's short hair style that night at Baeksang, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate to act with him.
After Kim Go Eun, most of the candidates mentioned by Kim Eun Sook are well-known young actresses, and the most familiar ones are naturally Lim Yoon Ah and Bae Suzy.
The crew of Yoona sunbae already felt that it was not suitable. After all, it is impossible for the male and female protagonists to use actors from the same SM company to make it look like a self-produced drama.
However, the focus of senior Yoona's recent activities has shifted to mainland China, where the income is much higher than on the peninsula. I heard that she has confirmed to accept a large-scale TV series in the mainland, and is about to enter the mainland.
We are now in the stage of preparing to start shooting. For this reason, we have rejected several scripts from the peninsula. The last time Chi Jingyuan received "the K2" was one of them.
Maybe seniors still don't like this "Ghost".
As for Bae Suzy...after "Introduction to Architecture" became a hit, her performance in the dramas she filmed in the past two years was not particularly good. JYP's resources in the film and television industry were not good enough. After a lot of hard work, she received the role of "Any Attachment".
It's a drama that looks pretty good, but based on Bae Suzy's feelings and complaints after filming, it seems that the drama has a high chance of being a hit.
Although I feel that she fits the character design quite well, if the performance of "Wandering Attachment" is not good, the crew of "Goblin" may not use her.
But who to choose as the heroine is a later matter. We still have to wait until he confirms his role first...
After walking around and finally returning to the company, Chi Jingyuan first went to the cafe on the first floor to buy a drink, and was going to go to the practice room to get some things, and then go to Park Jae-hyun to discuss the TV series.
He took the elevator upstairs while drinking a drink and scrolling through his cell phone. Instead of reading the news from the peninsula, he scrolled through Weibo from the mainland.
As soon as I opened the hot search, I saw a familiar name:
"The press conference for Lay's new drama "Old Nine Gates" was held today"
Chi Jingyuan clicked on the stills and looked at the fans' comments below. He was amazed. It is said that the development of the third brother Lay is getting better and better. Not only has a variety show that has attracted fans like crazy, but also film and television resources are coming one after another. It feels like
The momentum is no worse than that of Luhan, the top member of Team M back then.
The people who came out of XO are really more powerful than the others, making their old teammates feel extremely honored.
With the nostalgia and blessings of the old members of the team in his heart, Chi Jingyuan looked at it for a while and then scrolled through other news. After flipping through it, he actually saw a blog post related to himself:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I went to Peninsula with my friends to see EXO's comeback this time, but unfortunately I didn't get the qualification to enter the singing show (crying)... Speaking of EXO
The peninsula is really popular. We went to Dongdaemun and Hongdae. You can hear "Miss You" and "Monster" in many restaurants and shops. It's really everywhere in the streets and alleys. The TOP popular boy groups
It’s full of substance. Personally, I feel that there are more pictorials for “Missing You”, but there are more pictorials for “Monster”.
But it was a blessing in disguise. Yesterday I got the qualification to attend XO's book signing in Busan. I finally saw Yuan and talked to him (laughing). My heart is beating fast when I think about it. It looks really good up close, and his temperament
It's super, super good. It really feels like Mr. Sunshine. It's not an exaggeration at all... Sisters, if you have the chance, you must watch it in real life. It's a completely different concept from what you see on TV.
And he is really a fan. When he heard that I was speaking in Chinese, he also directly talked to me in Chinese. His Chinese is really good, and his Mandarin is even better than mine (I still have a little bit of dialect)
, after knowing that I was a fan from the Mainland, he was obviously very interested and very happy. The staff came to urge me to return it, but he blocked it and extended the time to talk a lot. Moreover, he heard that we were three people, and there were two of us.
After I personally didn't qualify for the autograph, I took the initiative to sign the TO autograph for all of us.
His original words were "We can't let them come in vain."
Do you know how I felt when I heard this sentence? I almost cried.
The two Aili who went with me were very excited and touched after getting the TO sign. One of them even burst into tears... But I understand her very well.
This trip to the peninsula was really meaningful and I will probably never forget it in my life.
Unfortunately, I heard that idols are not allowed to shake hands at SM events, so I didn’t dare to mention it. Now that I think about it, it’s a bit regretful. I feel like if I had said it at that time, Oppa would have been willing...
Also, I feel a little regretful. I had planned to ask him, but I was so excited at the time that I forgot to ask him if XO has a follow-up album this time...
(Attachment: Selected dialogue between Yuan and I)
(Picture attached: TO signature)
This blog post was very long and written very carefully. Chi Jingyuan browsed it for a while, and he quickly realized that it was actually the post from yesterday's book signing event. It should be the pink-haired girl from the Xia Kingdom named Liu Zilu.
He also saw the TO signature written by himself in the picture below.
Unexpectedly, after she returned home, she actually went online to brag about it, and it actually became a hotly searched post, attracting a lot of likes from all the Aili fans in the Mainland.
"Looking at it, the news that has been circulated before should be true. Yuan is indeed a very fond of fans, and he also really values Xia Guo's Ai Li. There is nothing wrong with being a fan of him."
"Yuan is too good. How can he say "We can't let them come in vain" so naturally and easily? Does he know how many sensitive women's hearts will be shaken?"
"What kind of magical luck is it to get an autograph when you travel? You can actually chat with Yuan Oppa and get a TO autograph... wuwuwuwu, sister, don't say it, I'm already jealous to death."
"It's so sad. Yuan's TO signatures are really very few. He seems to sign them based on his mood... Sister, can you tell me? I'm sorry."
The following is full of comments of exclamation, envy, and jealousy. Countless Aris came here to admire Chi Jingyuan's TO sign after hearing the news. It is becoming more and more popular... and this blog post seems to have firmly established his favor.
The label of being a fan seems to be somewhat helpful to his reputation.
Chi Jingyuan also smiled after seeing it. He might have been a little more enthusiastic yesterday after knowing that the other party was a fan of Xia Kingdom who came from afar, but in fact it was just a normal feedback from an idol to his fans. If he could become this female fan
The words 'I will never forget it in my lifetime'.
He was really honored.
There was a ding sound as he reached the floor of the practice room. Chi Jingyuan walked out of the elevator after reaching the floor. He took a sip of his drink and looked at his phone in a good mood. However, after taking only two steps forward, he felt in his peripheral vision that there seemed to be several figures standing there.
In the front corridor.
He looked up and was stunned for a moment, and the straw in his mouth stopped.
If he read it correctly, the person standing in the corridor at the entrance of EXO's practice room in their SM company was actually Lin Nayeon. He had also seen the man and woman following him, who seemed to be JYP's manager.
These people obviously heard the footsteps and movement, and saw Chi Jingyuan walking over. The two agents smiled as soon as they saw him, and walked a few steps this way, as if they wanted to say hello.
Lin Nalian was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chi Jingyuan, who was carrying a shoulder bag and wearing private clothes, and the orange juice drink in his hand, and also came closer.
After saying a simple hello, Chi Jingyuan saw these people and asked in confusion: "How come you..."
"Don't you know, Jingyuan Xi, there is a stage for cooperation..."
When the male agent said this, Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment and suddenly realized: "Oh, you said that."
When he said this, he remembered that his manager Lee Seung Hwan mentioned to him a few days ago that "Music Bank" will have a mid-year special at the end of the month. At the invitation of the program team, the relationship between SM and JYP is now
The company arranged a special stage after discussion. The track was determined to be Yuan and Suzy's popular collaboration song "some" in 2014. At the same time, they would imitate the original singer's combination and select a member from EXO and Twice to collaborate on this stage.
.
From Twice's side, it looks like Lin Nayeon is the one. From EXO's side, because Chi Kyung-won is the original singer of this song, he is not suitable to perform, and fans definitely don't want to see him collaborating with Lin Nayeon.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the end, XO chose Park Chanyeol.
"Have you come to practice today?" Chi Jingyuan looked at the few people and understood, and took the lead to walk into the practice room: "Have you talked to our agent...Why are you outside? Come in."
"Nai, we will have the first practice today..." The manager nodded and followed: "I have already told Chenghuanxi that we just came from his office. Chanyeolxi may be a little nervous.
I need to explain something, so there was a little delay."
Park Chanyeol remembers that he is flying to Xia Kingdom today...
Chi Jingyuan nodded, an idea flashed in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud.
Although EXO officially made its comeback a few days ago and is now in the comeback period, each member's personal schedule will not stop. The company will also specifically stop the group's schedule to allow time for each member's personal profile, such as
Byun Baekhyun's "Step by Step" is still being filmed, and even during the comeback period, he keeps running back and forth.
As for Park Chanyeol, he remembered that this guy said yesterday that he would fly to the mainland today to attend the press conference of the movie "So I Married a Fan", but he didn't expect that there would be a special stage practice in the afternoon.
That flight should be scheduled for the evening.
The reason why I remember it so clearly is because when it comes to the movie "So and the Haters...", the company originally wanted him to play the male lead, which is Park Chanyeol's current role. But Chi Kyung-won read the script,
At that time, I was shocked by the structure of the script, the development of the plot, and the name of the protagonist. I immediately found a few excuses to reject it. Later, the company replaced it with Park Chanyeol, who was also developing into film and television.
"Come in." Chi Jingyuan knew that there was no one in the practice room at this time, so he took the initiative to open the door and let Lin Nalian and others in first, and pointed casually to indicate that they could sit wherever they wanted.
Lin Nalian hasn't spoken since they met just now except for saying hello. She doesn't look as lively as in the show. She follows her manager obediently, only occasionally looking at the back in front of her before looking around again.
Look around at EXO's practice room.
To be honest, no matter the decoration, lighting, area, facilities, or even everything else, it is much better than JYP’s practice room.
Although I don't want to admit it, I do feel a little envious.
Following her agent, Lin Nalian sat on a small sofa not far from the door. She watched Chi Jingyuan walk over, take a stack of documents and put them into her bag, then walked to the small refrigerator next to her and took a few bottles of water.
Come over and hand it to them.
"Kang Sangmida..." Lin Nalian quickly stood up and took the water, pursed her lips and held it in her hand.
After Chi Jingyuan finished giving the water, he glanced at Lin Nalian. This girl was wearing a sportswear outfit with short sleeves and long trousers. Her hair was tied back with a hairpin. She looked quite fresh without much makeup. Even the pair of rabbit teeth were still there.
Too conspicuous.
Seeing her holding the water bottle conscientiously, he thought for a while, went to the small cabinet next to him, rummaged through it, and took out two packs of his favorite snacks, shredded seaweed, which he usually kept here. He came over.
First, he handed one packet to the male agent, and then gently threw another packet to Lin Nalian from a distance of one or two meters.
"It's just fine, give it a try, it tastes pretty good..."
"Brother, please wait here for a moment. I guess they will be here soon." Chi Jingyuan didn't wait for them to say anything. After taking the things, he waved and left: "I have something to do over there, so I'll go first."
gone."
"Okay, okay, Jingyuan, go and do your work." The manager looked at the snacks in his and Lin Nalian's hands, stood up quickly, and left with a smile.
Lin Nalian looked at the back of Chi Jingyuan who quickly walked out of the practice room with her shoulder bag on her back after waving her hands. She paused for a moment before swallowing the 'thank you' that was on her lips.
"Jingyuan Xi has a really good personality...and his hobby of sharing snacks with others is still the same, haha, just like when he was in our company."
"But SM's new building is really beautifully decorated..."
Lin Nalian sat down again. The exchanges between the two agents could be heard in her ears. She glanced at the unopened piece of seaweed in her hand, blinked, held it in her hand and looked at it carefully for a while, and then carefully put it in.
Inside the bag.
…
"How was your meeting with writer Kim Eun-sook today?" In the office, Park Jae-hyun looked at Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting casually on the sofa. Seeing that he was holding a half-drunk drink in his hand, he smiled and stopped taking the initiative.
Instead of receiving the water, he sat aside and asked.
